Japanese audio manufacturer Final has announced the release of its new 'Porta' wireless headphones, marketed as a solution for users who find traditional earbuds or clip-on designs uncomfortable. The primary feature of the Porta is its minimalist construction, which utilizes a single piece of wire to form the headband and structure. This design choice results in a total weight of 40 grams, significantly lighter than many competing on-ear models currently on the market.

To provide context on the weight reduction, the Porta headphones are substantially lighter than other recent on-ear releases, such as the Marshall Milton A.N.C., which weigh 200 grams. The Porta headphones are currently available for preorder directly through the company’s online store. The retail price is set at 12,800 yen, which converts to approximately $80 USD. While the product aims to address comfort issues associated with standard wireless audio gear, the report focuses primarily on the physical specifications and the weight comparison to existing industry alternatives.
